This episode presents a drama about Cyprus in 1957 during the height of the three-sided conflict between British colonial rule and Greek and Turkish terrorists. Inspector Fallon, a British police superintendent, brings in a Cypriot prisoner, Christos, one of a gang who blew up a power plant. In order to climb a hill, Fallon releases Christos, who knocks him out and escapes. When Fallon returns, he is accused of murdering Christos. Commissioner Thompson thinks Fallon has comprised himself and orders a replacement. A band of terrorists, including Kiki and Drusilla, is interrogated by Fallon, who uses fierce measures to break down the prisoners. They confess to blowing up the plant. Fallon is freed from the accusation but realizes he has used brutality in the process.
